69 When Dreams Are Born (2/2)

In order to create an elemental sphere, Daniel needed to have an essence treasure with the same properties of the essence he wanted to create a sphere of, and a few other items.

For example, in order to create a metal sphere, Daniel needed various types of rare and common metals to add to the treasure in order to ease the process of binding.

Fortunately, two of the three spheres which Daniel was interested in making, happened to be the two easiest spheres to produce. Specifically, wind and water, of which he already owned the treasures of and of which had a deep comprehension of.

The method of creation of an essence sphere was completely different. One did not need any sort of object, except for an orb that contained a simple pocket dimension, which when activated would switch a set space with the space contained inside the pocket dimension.

The set space was isolated and prepared for easy shifting in the formation that would activate the orb. In Daniel's case, the formation that had activated the lightning orb when he had entered the first testing room for spiritual cultivators, was the altar placed right underneath the rotating pyramid of essence orbs.

Daniel did not have any orb which he could use to create an essence orb, so he decided to attempt creating two different essence spheres instead.

He opened his hand, and inside a small coral appeared out of nowhere.

An experienced spiritual cultivator would immediately recognized this piece of coral as a high level treasure of water essence. If not for the fact that it was an item commonly found on the bottom of the sea, the thick water essence that it emanated would betray it as a water treasure right away.

Daniel possessed a good ninety percent of comprehension of water, wind, and lightning essences. For him it wasn't hard to use his spiritual essence to simulate most variation of water that existed.

The only problem was caused by his limited amount of spiritual essence.

Creating an essence treasure required speed and precision. Daniel didn't lack precision, as his comprehension was atof an impressive level, what he lacked was the speed that usually only an higher cultivation level could grant.

No matter how talented Daniel was, he still had a limited amount of spiritual essence within his body.. And in order to produce an essence sphere, he needed a constant and deep source of it.

Fortunately, this wasn't a real problem for him, since thanks to his karmic system, he could produce ki way faster than usual, and use it to replace the consumed spiritual essence.

Daniel put the book back in its place and left the library. He then headed towards the room where he had been tested the first time by the Clear Mage.

Just like Heimart had said, the formation had been replicated in the original space of the castle, and now worked just like the version the Clear Mage had installed within the fictitious space.

Daniel sat right in front of the altar, and started to slowly push his spiritual essence around the piece of coral. He then turned it into a water essence which encompassed the treasure completely.

Layer after layer of water essence morphed around the treasure into different compositions.

The deepest layer was made of cold, and dark water. Inside which only high ranked abyssal monsters would live. The second one, was made out of a thick and resistant layer of ice, through which nothing could be seen clearly.

The third layer was made of a calm and gentle surface of water, similar to the shore of a beach.. it swayed back and forth in a slow and repetitive motion.

The fourth and last layer was a mist which lingered on the surface of the calm water. Half of it was made of scorching vapor, while the other half was a cold mixture of water particles and small ice crystals.

The objects needed to aid the binding of a specific essence to its treasure, were the various types of the essence itself.

Just like an earth sphere would require plants and dirt to aid in the binding, a water sphere required ice, vapor, water and mist.

Daniel was now ready to condense the water essence inside the small watery world. He started to fill the small room with as much spiritual essence as he could, before turning it into water essence and moving it towards the essence sphere.

It was like feeding a flame from inside. Every bit of essence forced inside the sphere would automatically disregard Daniel's previous control, and become part of the essence sphere.

It took Daniel a full day, and the astonishing amount of five thousand karma points to finally complete the creation of the water sphere.

It was very similar to the one the Silver Alchemist had lent him, but with the difference that this sphere was created by his own comprehension, and therefore, it could not help him increase his comprehension of water essence.

The only reason he had created this essence orb, was as a first step to create an effective training ground for Spiritual Cultivators. Creating a water essence sphere at first, was only so that he could aid Roley in increasing his comprehension of water essence.

After all, Roley was the only other spiritual cultivator beside him, and like him, he was adept in the use of water essence.

Daniel's main goal for this training room, was to fill it with spheres made out of a perfect comprehension for each type of essence.

Until recently, Daniel's thoughts had been much simpler. He wanted to live an easy life with his sister.

What changed his way of thinking, was the gift that the karmic system had given him.. The ability to dream bigger.

Excited about his uncertain future, Daniel stored the water sphere within a box and placed it inside one of his rings.

The very next moment, a feather appeared in his hand.
